Le dernier mot

I absolutely loved it. Interesting, off the beaten path story, excellent acting. American actors and actresses must realize that one don't need plastic surgeries and enhancements to be a movie star. One needs to ACT! I loved Dutch series Rita and loved this one. Grateful that Netflix has so many European and South American series and films. I prefer to watch in original language with subtitles, even though some could be watched in english.

I couldn't sit through more than 5 minutes of this. Dumb egocentrics with lots of money celebrate and someone is apparently going to die (don't know). Why just one, and not all? Watch the Flintstones instead; that show has relatable, well-developed characters that are lacking in this outgrowth of German bourgeois banality.

Where is the comedy concept or dialogue?it is all about funeral arrangements and some family staff.

This is a very, a very good show! The first thing to say is, that the actors are overall absolutely convincing. Anke Engelke and Thorsten Merten are a fantastic od couple. Merten also had the idea for the show. He is a excellent German actor with roots in east Germany. Best known for his work with Andreas Dresen. Just to mention his character Chris Düring in the wonderful tragic comedy HALBE TREPPE. It is a pleasure to see him teaming up with German superstar of comedy and drama films, the one and only Anke Engelke. But there are also young rising actors like Aaron Hilmer who had a skyrocketing performance in the surprise movie hit of 2018, DAS SCHÖNSTE MÄDCHEN DER WELT. Nina Gummich Johannes Zeiler, Juri Winkler and mean but charming grandma Gudrun Ritter. They all make the Fazius - Family - Clan a real pleasure to watch. The Dialog is well written and the scripts have a wonderful balance in drama and comic relief. Life an death are brothers in arms and this show helps us to get prepared for what is waiting out there for all of us. If it is the sudden death of a loved one or the way how you want to be remembered by the ones you left behind ... The showrunner and the directors did a marvelous job and we have to thank German super - dooper - megastar Matthias Schweighöfer because he is the founder of Pantaleon, the Production Company that made this diamond of a German dramedy possible. For those about to Rock, we salute you!!! ... I really hope that there will be a second season!

Heartwarming story about different ways to deal with death and grief. Authentic relatable main characters, beautiful set (especially colours - pay attention to the interior design and a wardrobe). All in all a good dramedy.
